Day 5

I did another post but now I can't find it. I think I'm over the worst part.

I worked today and got along just fine. Had some cravings.

Wish I knew where my other post went!

Day 6

I was prepared for the worst. Missing work, days in bed, knowing I would feel like death warmed over and it didn't happen. This is great!!=)

I appreciate all of the help I've received here. I think this is a wonderful site. Lots and lots of good info and brutal honesty. We need that. I'm currently reading The Small Book and it's got alot of helpful info that I can relate to. It just makes sense to me.

I am having cravings but nothing I can't handle. I'll continue to post my ups and downs.

Day 7, might not be over yet :(

Day 7 and today is actually worse than yesterday. What gives?

I laid down for most of the day yesterday. I have a real ancey feeling and a lot of sneezing. And I have no energy at all. Exhausted but not tired. No appetite to speak of but I've gained 10 lbs since I started my taper. What's up with that? Lol!

I have today off so I can rest and I'm doing chores around the house little by little. I hope I feel better tomorrow as I have a lot going on at my job.

Wish me luck!

End of day 7. Wow!

Back to work tomorrow. I feel a huge void without the drug and a lot of self reflection to go along with it.
Time to live life on its terms eh?
Feeling ok physically right now, getting for bed. I hope you all can see my progress. I haven't been able to start a new thread for awhile.

Peanut !...Just continue to post in this tread. We'll be seeing you and tracking your progress.

Dont worry about the 10 # weight gain. It is water. Your just becoming hydrated again after a long time. This is good !

you're doing great ! Just keep it up. We're here for you.

I gained weight as well, I think it was due to me being dehydrated and malnourished. My BP was sky high and sugar levels out of whack but now I am normal. You can safely diet and exersize after you get your drinking under control.
